There are thousands of marinas located around the world — so what is it that makes one stand out against another? Is it the proximity to well-established cruising grounds, additional refit facilities on hand or state-of-the-art amenities for crew?
Whether needing a quick pit stop between charters or a comfortable home berth for the off-season, there are various factors to consider when selecting a safe haven.
Dockwalk is a magazine specifically designed for superyacht captains and crew, providing news, information, and career advice related to the yachting industry, considered the leading publication for professional crew working on large luxury yachts; it is published by Boat International Media and is often referred to as the ‘voice of the yachting industry from a crew perspective.’
We are delighted to share that the Dockwalk spoke to captains in the superyacht industry to find out what they consider to be the ‘cream of the crop’ when choosing a floating base; and we couldn’t agree more!
From across the globe, the Captains recommendations included Grand Harbour Marina in Malta, Port Vauban in Antibes, Marina Taina, in Tahiti, Marina Jack in Sarasota, Florida and Nantucket Boat Basin, Massachusetts both in America.
Captain Edin Prgua of sailing yacht Wellenreiter comments on why he regulary chooses Grand Harbour Marina,
“Because of the people, location and amazing history of the island.”
In the middle of the Mediterranean nestled within one of the Mediterranean’s largest natural harbors, this Camper & Nicholsons marina exudes historic allure alongside its highly rated facilities. Yachts up to 330ft can call it home, and being at the crossroads of the Mediterranean, it makes a great base for cruising. The marina combines old-world charm with modern amenities and opposite is Valletta, a captivating UNESCO World Heritage City with lots to see and do.
With many thanks to Dockwalk and Captain Edin Prgua of sailing yacht Wellenreiter for mentioning Grand Harbour Marina.
